Hello,we are using Infiniband instead of Ethernet for cluster interconnection. Instead of IPoIB (IP-over-InfiniBand Protocol) we want to use SDP (Sockets Direct Protocol) as a mid layer protocol. To connect the Ceph daemons to SDP without changing the Ceph code, the LD_PRELOAD mechanism can be used. To enable the LD_PRELOAD mechanism for the Ceph daemons only, a little generic extension in the global section of /etc/ceph/ceph.conf would be helpful, e.g.: [global] environment = LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib64/libsdp.so.1 The appending patch adds 5 lines in the Bobtail (0.56.6) init script. The init script will then read the environment setting and - if present - call the Ceph daemons with the preceding environment string.
You can also submit this via a Pull request on Github. That way the author stays preserved and you get all the credits for this patch :)
